Moment FourWritten by: Pasha Background:On the 19th of February, our team crossed the border of Lesotho. All of us went through except for me and Germine because we didn’t have visas. We spent a lot of time trying to come to terms with the officials but nothing worked. I was so frustrated because I already spent a month in Moscow not being able to join the team in January and now, I will be separated from them again for almost two weeks.Germine and I had to come back to Ficksburg, the town bordering Lesotho.Elzke was the only one who had a connection to the border and she asked her mother to...

Jordan was completely out of our comfort zone, and different in the best way. Since it was our first country in the Middle East, we were expecting a drastic cultural change compared to South America and East Africa – that is exactly what we experienced! The culture in Jordan proved to be more conservative than anything we had experienced before, especially considering it is a country based on Islamic beliefs…needless to say we had a lot to learn about how to best reach the people we were going to be encountering during our 3 weeks of ministry. We were blessed with briefing and training...

This required a lot of traveling and money and when traveling with 11 people things can get tricky. Our first country in South America was Brazil. The people there blessed us in abundance, we hardly touched our budget while...

It was certainly a trip that we were excited about…we had been holding our excitement for this experience for what seemed like forever and the time had finally arrived. We were going to spend 4 days and 3 nights on a boat on the Amazon river, sleeping in hammocks and engaging in conversations, while simultaneously looking out onto the waters and into the mystery that is the infamous Amazon rainforest.

How beautiful it is to be brought face to face with people, languages and cultures that are so different. Every country is richly painted with colours of its own, every language with uniquely shaped sounds we’ve never heard before… Our encounter with the Quechua people up in the mountain village of Inkawasi was one of many experiences, that opened our eyes to the vastness of cultures that walk on this earth and the various traditions that root themselves in each of those cultures. One of the things we experienced most during our time In Peru, was seeing believers that have emerged from...
